The Challenges

When MediaTek's US HR team in Boston encountered challenges in filling crucial positions, they sought external assistance. Specifically, they were struggling to recruit a Compiler Engineer and a Software Tools Engineer for their Digital Signal Processing (DSP) team. The local job market for these specialized roles was extremely limited, and the candidates with the required skill set were in high demand. This scarcity made it difficult for MediaTek to fill these positions through their internal recruitment efforts or through previous agencies they had worked with.

The Solution

Acceler8 Talent’s relationship with MediaTek began through a referral from the Director of Machine Learning Research, who had previously collaborated with us in the UK. This successful partnership led to a referral to MediaTek's US HR team, where Acceler8 stepped in to address their recruitment challenges. Leveraging our extensive network and expertise in the tech industry, we conducted a targeted search for candidates with the specific skill sets required for the Compiler Engineer and Software Tools Engineer roles.

Within a couple of months, our specialists successfully filled both positions, demonstrating their ability to navigate the competitive job market and attract top talent. Recognizing the effectiveness of this partnership, MediaTek extended their collaboration with Acceler8 to support several other offices across the US.
